Addams Family's great. Good middle-difficulty machine. I find the even-better-loved and similarly-laid-out Twilight Zone to be much, much harder, for some reason—I just don't get along with it very well. Some machines are more n00b-friendly than others. Some take it too far and are too easy (Frankenstein) but others hit a good sweet spot.
White Water mentioned by another poster down a ways is a decent starter machine—complex enough, plenty to do to keep you busy for a good long while, but not killer-difficult (Black Knight 2000 would... not be a good one to start with). Depending on how the it's tuned it can have a couple "cheap" drains but they're avoidable with good flipper handling—carefully catching certain returns rather than letting them bounce, that sort of thing.
Theater of Magic's good. Fun theme, doesn't just love to throw your ball down the drain all the time, tons to do, but you still have to be aiming & making shots or you won't get much done.
Medieval Madness has a nice, straightforward, fun theme and set of sequences. It's a bit like Attack from Mars, actually, but I'd call it the less fiddly of the two, if that makes sense.
